Did everyone with acai campaigns get your Adwords account banned?

    I was investigating some promotion ideas with acai, but wanted to hold off because of reports that people were getting their Adwords account banned. Did you get your Adwords account suspended or banned because of something like acai (acai berry, etc)?

    People who did get in trouble were running flogs, (fake blogs), with fake people telling fake stories about how they lost weight. Yes they converted, but they also got a lot of complaints since they were false advertising. Also the rebill procedure that those acai offers employ, (ie you pay the shipping and handling, then they rebill you a hundred or more each month), really ticked people off.

    There are still a ton of those ACAI offers out there just alot of them using other ad networks, not Google Adwords.
    ...and they are still using those fake blogs, with fake pictures, I might add.

    Google wouldn't even accept my acai ad. They said I needed to get some kind of pharmacy key.
